2-3 page paper

Where are you from? This paper is a PERSONAL paper, one in which you should use your powers of description and your ability to articulate an answer to this question.

For every person, there are multiple ways of answering the question -- I just want you to pick one direction. You might want to write about a house, a garden, a country, a city, a basketball court, a choir . . . so in that sense, the question is probably asking this: What is your core? What defines you, or explains you to yourself and to others?
